	So my mk2 polo had its original tape deck/headunit, and you can imagine my sheer, utter dissapointment when I tried to test it with a freinds 'Kiss from a Rose-Seal' tape with little success. We tried a few different tapes and they all play really, really slow. The rewind and fast forwards functions work no problem. The headunit it Panasonic with some home speakers wired up by the previous owner. Is it possible the the speakers are drawing too much power? An aux cable/cassette converter works no problem. Thanks

	A common problem with old cassette players is the belt slipping, you could try taking it apart and cleaning it that may help

	It'll be the belt at a guess. Either that or it's developed artificial taste and is going to eat the Seal tape next time you try it....
